Currently, ExpoLayout delays layout updates by using a singleshot timer
(primarily due to the author of the effect not being aware of
QQuickItem::polish() and QQuickItem::updatePolish()).
This change makes ExpoLayout schedule layout updates using QtQuick's
native item polish machinery, which gets triggered before rendering and
thus we can batch more geometry updates.
In addition to that, this change simplifies the initialization code in
ScreenView by making the fact that ExpoLayout is arranged right before
rendering internal to the WindowHeap type.
It's confusing to have two signals (virtualScreenGeometryChanged() and
screenGeometryChanged()) that indicate the same thing.
This change ports parts of kwin from the screenGeometryChanged() signal
to the virtualScreenGeometryChanged() signal with the main motivation to
drop the former.
The virtualScreenGeometryChanged() signal was chosen as the replacement
for the consistency sake with EffectsHandler's virtualScreenGeometry and
virtualScreenSize properties.
The current duration is 300ms, which is inappropriate for two reasons:
1. It's too slow
2. It doesn't match one of the standard durations. The effect should
ideally use those durations directly, but if this is not possible
for technical reasons, it should use the effective value of one of
those durations. Units.longDuration is 200ms which is the most
appropriate one to use here.
Therefore, change the animation duration from 300ms to 200ms to match
the standard Units.longDuration duration.

This makes it easier to spot if the effect is activated while there is
only one maximized window.
Note that anchors.margins cannot be used unfortunately as it won't take
effect until the ExpoLayout item is fully constructed. It may take a
couple of cycles for the geometry to settle down, which makes reasoning
about how the effect works difficult.

Once an animation starts due to property change, it cannot be easily
re-targeted. This can cause undesired animation jumps if a property
changes during startup (for example from 0 to its final value).
With this change, the window heap's animation will be disabled until
the effect starts the intro animation.
The ExpoLayout delays relayouting for optimization purposes. However,
this means that new geometry will be available only after returning to
the event loop.
This change delays starting the intro animation so it can be started
with new geometries.
According to the Qt documentation, if an item overrides the
geometryChanged() method, it must call the base class method.
QQuickItem::geometryChanged() is responsible for emitting signals such
as xChanged(), yChanged(), etc.
Currently, window thumbnails may be placed behind the panel, which
doesn't look good.
With this, the window heap will cover the same area as the maximize
area.
This makes the WindowHeap more robust to layout changes. Currently, the
main issue with it is that thumbnails will be misplaced if the heap's
scene position changes.
Kirigami.ScenePosition automagically keeps track of the item's scene pos.
This effect is meant to be as a replacement for the present windows and
the desktop grid effect. It is written using QML.
So far, this effect implements only the basic features of the present
windows effect. Desktop management features will be added later.

This reverts commit ac16bef409.
It causes crashes and color channels seem to be swapped.
GLTexture::toImage() needs more work before it can be used in the
screenshot effect, or maybe dropped.
Makes it possible to apply the dpms settings per screen instead of
applying it to all of them, which is wrong at many levels.
Will be even more important with other effects like rotation.
This allows creating a GLTexture object and attaching a dmabuf to it.
Currently, we can do that by using the foreign GLTexture constructor,
but it makes the deletion of the texture handle more error prone.
In the future, we can add a method that allocates the texture storage,
but there's no need for that yet.
The pointing finger cursor is used to show that a piece of text is a
clickable link, and it is inappropriate to use it in other contexts.
Regular UI elements that do something when single-clicked continue to
use the standard arrow cursor in other contexts, so let's follow that
convention in the Present Windows and Desktop Grid effects too.

The Xrender backend was added at the time when OpenGL drivers were not
particularly stable. Nowadays though, it's a totally different situation.
The OpenGL render backend has been the default one for many years. It's
quite stable, and it allows implementing many advanced features that
other render backends don't.
Many features are not tested with it during the development cycle; the
only time when it is noticed is when changes in other parts of kwin break
the build in the xrender backend. Effectively, the xrender backend is
unmaintained nowadays.
Given that the xrender backend is effectively unmaintained and our focus
being shifted towards wayland, this change drops the xrender backend in
favor of the opengl backend.
Besides being de-facto unmaintained, another issue is that QtQuick does
not support and most likely will never support the Xrender API. This
poses a problem as we want thumbnail items to be natively integrated in
the qtquick scene graph.
With the ongoing scene redesign, it needs to be rewritten. However,
given that it is not used widely based on support information from
various bug reports and our available man power is sparse, the most
reasonable thing is to drop the effect, unfortunately.

EffectWindow::shape() doesn't fit the item based design. This change
ports the blur effect away from the shape() function to the rect()
function. The XShape extension was introduced when windows with an alpha
channel wasn't really a thing. Setting a shape served as a way to clip a
window, the most notable example is xeyes.
If an application relies on the xshape extension to actually clip the
window and not to force the window manager not to put the server-side
deco, it most likely doesn't support translucency and therefore it
shouldn't set the blur region to begin with.
This change makes the blur effect ignore the xshape region similar to
the background contrast effect. It allows us to decouple a bit more
effects from the rest of rendering machinery and thus make it easier for
us to move forward with the scene redesign goal.
